Had a problem doing a T63 update (Update for Nav-system). Could not get it to work. Dealer had car for 5 days before I made a BIG fuss. They then tried the update/recall again and it went through! After 5 days!!!

Dealer says car was "built like that to keep coffee warm and/or cold depending on setting." Needless to say I was stunned at their response and their gall to think I was born yesterday!

While at the dealer for an oil change (I like to get the first oil change early) I mentioned the voice control problem. The Tech looked at it and said it was fine. After a brief discussion I left the shop only to find that it no longer functioned. ...

Genesis was returned for a reoccurring problem with the voice command system. Dealer did a number of firmware upgrades, but problem returned a few days later. Dealer currently working with the factory to find a solution.

After a number of visits to the dealer, the factory has decided to install a new radio/navigation system. The part has been ordered, but because of availability no date has been set for delivery/installation.

After waiting two weeks, went to dealer to ask status and was told they are waiting for a remanufactured radio. This implies that there are inherenet problems. Still waiting.

Radio was replaced, but not enough time has passed to be sure the problem is resolved. However, I remain optimistic that the replacement will solve the voice command problem.

My Genesis supposedly had the radio replaced, but after two weeks the problem resurfaced. Dealer states that they have no idea what to do and that I should talk to the Factory Rep. I will follow-up at some point. Appears they cannot fix the problem.

DIS unit was replaced, but did not resolve the problem. Decided to stop pursuing a solution since the lease will expire in a few months. Hyundai did not seem to have the expertise to fix the problem, unfortunately.

Dome light flashes on occasion similar to a flourescent bulb warming up or dying. Dealer ordered a replacement part but delivery took too long and I wanted my car back. The part has since arrived, will be installed on my next service appt
